Visiting a local outdoor art display can be exciting!

Events filled with outdoor art have been a part of outdoor art history. The 1893 World's Fair had a huge exhibition devoted to art and architecture. The exhibition was so big, people needed a map to visit all the outdoor art on display. Take a look at this map from the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago:
